I want to note that I just typed in 4x100 x 4x100 1.25" adapter in ebay and found several. The ones I bought were from tireshopsupplies. I also should say you can use any wheel that is a 17x7 and has a 42mm offset The adapter can change the bolt pattern as well like 4x100 to 5x100 or any wheel you want. Also the center of the Adapter may need to be filed or ground to clear the center of the hub. I used a cut off wheel and a die grinder and took out a little to let it fit without hitting. That was the only mod needed and was not hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigCarl Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) Is this the place ? 4 bolt 1.25" spacer It takes a special one to clear the hub I have been turning them on a lathe. Edited June 24, 2011 by BigCarl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Switchblade Posted March 16, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted March 16, 2011 Is this the place ? 4 bolt 1.25" spacer Thats the ones I got. Cant wait to see how it rides. If you look at buying a used VFR rear wheel its $350 to $400 and will must likely have to have it painted or powder coated easy $500 for all. I f you go your route your looking at $175(lug,wheel,adapter) plus tire. You run this set up and then when you go "DRAGON" riding you put the VFR rear wheel back on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest BigCarl Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I want to thank everyone for the intrest in this thread. I would like to say that I love the VFR ride and power. Holy V-TEC I rode for 10 miles before getting to 7000 RPMs. That made me smile. Well I am happy with my tire and wheel, I was worried about the fit and ride but it worked out great. I am going to purchase more spacers and do the clearance work for the hub. If others want to try this option just P.M. me. Thanks and RIDE SAFE.

Guest emanonsc2 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I know its been a while since this thread has been touched, but im new and im about to do this conversion but wanted to just conferm some stuff. Seems like all i need is a 17x7 rim with a 4x100 pattern and a 42mm offset, then a 1.25" spacer and thats it. I have a 99 vfr800. Thank u guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigCarl Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Your right and PM sent. If you want a different bolt patten wheel just get a different bolt pattern adapter I.E. 4x100 to 5x100 ECT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigCarl Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Also a 7000 mile update, works great the only issue is that the speedo is 4 MPH off. ( showing faster than actual speed) I am going to change gears so that should help. I show even wear on the Dunlop roadsmart and it's almost to the wear indicator at 7000 miles. I corner hard and ride hard no issues. Have drug the pegs a few times along with my boots. I feel this was a gamble that worked out. I pulled the exhaust off just behind the cat and bought a tip at the local parts store for $10 I love the sound. My wife however did not like the melted shoe. I hope this update helps.

Member Contributer BusyLittleShop Posted February 14, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted February 14, 2012 Mercy... what in hell is an over weight car wheel doing on a VFR??? I'm going to have to report you to Honda for adding what amounts to a brick to their bike... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest devilsyam Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 good job it's not going on a honda then lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Wow, that's an interesting way to go about it. The CBR1000R swingarm is certainly a lot prettier than the VFR ones. Keep us posted! Sorry I can't help on the wheel fitment info, but looks to me that you are 90% of the way there already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigCarl Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I have been contacted by several riders who are putting the VFR swingarm on other Hondas but not other brands. That is cool and I hope you pull it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emanonsc2 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Ive put about 500 miles on mine and i think it rides just fine.

CatiePotatie Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 This looks like such a brilliant idea that I wanna give it a crack too.. As my overall colour is still blue I was thinking a white WRC style rim (think Subaru Impreza) would suit nice. Somethin like this: Also I was a bit concerned about the bead profile as most car rims are asymmetrical but it seems that any standard JJ style rim (has a safety bead on both sides instead of just one) would be safe enough. Now just the problem of finding a wheel like this that doesn't involve buying 4 of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NakedViffer Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Good job man, that beautiful. You end up with the 200 series roadsmart? Hows the handling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helweg Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) not 200 it's a Mic pilot road 190 fits great and good handling cant feel any difference I used to ride similar tyre on my 5,5 inch - but this looks much better but I think I'll go for a 200 or maybe a 210 next Edited May 8, 2012 by Helweg Denmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Jmmymc750 Posted May 8, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted May 8, 2012 Sir Helweg, I know I speak for the rest of us when I say, we would like some more detail on your case please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfunkomatic Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I'd have to agree. Why would you want more weight and a wider base of contact for the rear tire? That makes the tire flatter which would make it more difficult to turn in. I'm not slamming your idea, I'm just not sure I see any advantage to this. Is it just to have a different wheel on the back? Mercy... what in hell is an over weight car wheel doing on a VFR??? I'm going to have to report you to Honda for adding what amounts to a brick to their bike...
